Unclear On The Concept

Our local upscale supermarket is having a weekend "Buy Local" promotion with all sorts of stalls and counters outside in the parking lot. Right in the middle there's a stall selling some sort of organic drink with a whole bunch of claims about how it helps the body; bang in the middle of the other signs there's one saying "Made In New Zealand!!".

Yes, that does come to mind. A piece headlined on National Radio last week about US immigrants to NZ who were leaving the USA because they couldn't stomach the invasions of recent times. And then I remembered - they don't do irony over there.
